Travelling to and from JCoSS
JCoSS is in the heart of the Jewish community. Over 60% of the UK’s entire Jewish population lives within a
12 mile radius, including communities in Borehamwood, Edgware, Elstree, Finchley, Golders Green, Hackney,
Hendon, Ilford, Muswell Hill, Radlett, Redbridge, Southgate, St Albans and Stanmore. Few students – including
those using public transport – will face journey times of much more than 30 minutes and for many it will be
significantly less.
There are many convenient ways to travel
to JCoSS. Sustainability is important to the
school, and we encourage parents to use
the greenest practical method of transport
to get your children to and from school.
1. Public transport
Buses
The school is well served by buses. Most
go to the nearby New Barnet railway station
(see below), while the 384 bus goes directly
past the school gates.
A map detailing the main bus routes serving
the area is shown overleaf. For further details
and travel times see www.tfl.gov.uk.
Underground
The school is about 15-20 mins walk
from Cockfosters (Piccadilly Line) and
High Barnet (Northern Line). Trains to
and from these stations run at least every
10 minutes. The 384 hopper bus shuttles
between these stations via the school
every 15 minutes.
Overground
JCoSS is served by New Barnet railway
station, which is about 10-12 mins walk
from the school. The 384 hopper bus runs
every 15 minutes from the station to the
school gates. Trains run every 15-20 mins
from Moorgate and Welwyn Garden City,
passing through Finsbury Park, Haringey,
Hornsey, Alexandra Palace, New Southgate,
Oakleigh Park, Hadley Wood, Potters Bar
and elsewhere.

3. Walking and cycling
As a green school, JCoSS is working closely
with Barnet Council to promote walking and
cycling to school where practical. Walking is
encouraged through the school curriculum.
Secure covered cycle parking and locker
facilities are available on site. We are in
discussion over possible cycle routes.
Free one-to-one cycle training, including
from home-to-school is available.
4. Car sharing
We do not encourage driving, except
when transporting students with recognised
special needs. For those who have no
choice, we encourage car sharing. Parents
drop students off within the security ring
of the school. The transport coordinator can
match parents interested in car sharing via
the database and put them in phone/email
contact. Parents can already identify other
interested parents in their area by visiting
the JCoSS Facebook group and posting
a message to the message board.
